Would this make any sense? The ships I'm after are mainly the Arbitrator, Curse, and Pilgrim. None of these ships seem to need lasers... The thing is, I mostly fly solo, and I'm looking to train up for a Recon Ship. The Curse seems to be by far the best solo Recon, or even the best solo Cruiser-sized ship period. I'm trained up in Gallente and a bit of Minmatar at the moment. Being Gallente, I've got the already drone skills for the Arbi/Curse/Pilgrim and I'm working up my missile skills atm. The Lachesis and Rapier just don't seem to even be in the same league as the Curse for solo PVP, and even in a (small) fleet I don't see how a Lach could outperform a Curse. Rapier is debatable I suppose. Spending a few extra days to get Amarr Cruiser V instead of a Gallente or Minmatar Cruiser V seems like it would pay off bigtime for the Curse and Pilgrim, but as far as HACs go I think I'd much rather go Gallente or Minmatar. What should I do?

AFAIK the Curse has always been one of, if not the best Cruiser sized ship in the game. FOTM are the Geddon, Apoc, Abbadon, Harbie, Zealot, and Omen imo.

I guess that makes the curse next in line then. It makes plenty of sense if that's all you want to fly, but if you're going to bother doing it I'd train lasers too.

The Sacrilege is a very good close range tanking HAC, if you are getting Amarr Cruiser V and disregarding lasers, I'd take a good look into that ship.

Ah! I was thinking for some reason that you were saying I should look into training lasers . I played around with it in EFT a little, and it seems like it can get a pretty nice tank on it. However, it's DPS is lacking...

FOTM is a term used to describe whatever the whiners decide they want nerfed next. FOTY is a whiners favourite ship cos it never gets nerfed.

beware of using stupid worn out memes that were always used wrong anyway making the user look even dumber than normally possible for spouting complete gibberish.
Just to clarify your stupidity, FOTM = Flavor of the Month
Curse has been flown solo for about as long as I can remember, meaning multiple months, so its not a "fotm" ship you douche bag

Not just the curse, pretty much every ship he mentioned has been well-used for far longer than a single month.
I think what he meant was "Amar r overpwred nerf tehm bak 2 ston age plox"

Yeah, ive used large autocannons on an abbadon, works out to be a fairly decent active tank build for very close ranges. But its like everything else involving both the baddon and anything related to projectiles, skill heavy to be effective at all.
I also use autocannons on several other ammarr ships with specific builds. zealot, both BC's also have viable autocannon fits.
cross training amarr and minnie with good missile skills opens alot of options for both races ships. they really do compliment each other more with the least sp.

Amarr got some nifty T2 missile ships, not BS'class tho. So it not a bad entry form caldari into amarr.

Uh....what?
Yeah, it means "flavor of the month". What is your point exactly? Do you want a prize for pointing out that rather obvious point? Do you know what a "meme" is? Hint: acronyms are not memes in and of themselves.
For someone ranting about looking dumb and stupidity and gibberish, your post contains lots of it.
Oh, by the way, LOL=Laugh Out Loud. What do you have to say to that?

Edited by: Par''Gellen on 14/12/2008 03:46:19 I didn't read all the replies but just want to say that you can put any guns you want on any ship that will accept them. Just because it's an amarr ship doesn't force you to use lasers. Your skills are far more important than a ship bonus or two...
For example: I fly gallente ships and can't use hybrids at all... ---

You sir, are the douche bag. While the literal translation of FOTM is as you stated. What it means is context can be a bit different. FOTM has been adopted as a term to describe the current set of ships that are more powerful than ships of comparable roles.
Good try though

The Zealot has turned into a nice little ship since it got its 5th turret. Since then its been a HAC that hauls its weight around on the field. The Sac after the Khanid changes does it as well. FOTM or not, they've been both good ships even before Amarr started its climb up from being broken, to being useful.
There is no FOTMing about the Curse though. Even before any of the changes that lead to Amarr being more effective on the field, the Curse still was (and is, even after NOS nerf) a ship you dont want to be on the recieving end of, especially if the pilot isnt a moron at the controls.
Amarr + projectiles are the age of old, and they do still work, somewhat. Just avoid everyone's favorite "ITS BROKEN" weapon system, artillery. -

Word.
And might I add that the Arby has always been great T1 cruiser. In the worst case in which T2 Amarr cruisers get nerfed, you still have the arby.
